They will open a cafe named "Wind Letter" in this Kurosawa film " http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039871/ " and one of my friend asked me to find a Turkish translation for the name of the cafe. Can you help me to find a "meaning beyond the surface", because i do not want to use these words mod-a-mod in two seperate Turkish words. But please note that this will be the name of a cafe.
I have already asked this in En-En pair but a translator recommended me this
"Kenneth Cox: I don't know the film, but the English name sounds like a literal translation of the Japanese. You might get better results by posting on the Japanese>English pair."
So can you please help me to find "the heart of the meaning" in English or in Turkish.

The first thing that springs to my mind is the expression 'Kaze no tayori', which literally means 'letter/news of/from the wind'. 'Kaze no tayori' means some news or information you receive from a non-specified/unofficial/unknown source, or the circulation of such news/information. It is a bit like rumour or hearsay. In English you say that you hear something on the grapevine, or a little bird tells you something; it's quite similar to that.
